BOOK REVIEW: An Inheritance of Ashes by Leah Bobet

I received an ARC for this book from NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review. If absolutely nothing else, the initial blurb of this book is enough to make me grab it off the shelf. Dark things happening! There was a war! Ugly truths! Risks being taken and secrets being kept! Woo! What more could … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: An Inheritance of Ashes by Leah Bobet

BOOK REVIEW: Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer
